Expressing

I took my lab mix, Riley, to the vet this morning to have her anal glands expressed. I asked the vet to show me so that I could do it at home. I had watched some videos online and thought I had a pretty good idea of what they were going to do. Well, I was wrong. Expressing the glands is definitely a messy and smelly job that is meant for the vets office. They did one gland and I did the other, so I actually know how to do it now, but I'm not sure I want to continue doing it at home. Letting them do it is worth the $19 fee. Plus they have the supply of gloves, lube, and sanitizer required.

Welcome to "Don't Sweat the Small Stuff...."

Thanks for checking out my blog. My husband is always telling me to not sweat the small stuff, so this is my place to talk about the things going on in my life. Since my husband and the dogs (usually referred to as "the kids"), are the center of my world, many of the posts will be focused around them and the day to day aspects of my life. Please feel free to offer your comments. Many times we just need to hear from others that we are not alone in our adventures.
